The Lake Mallalieu Access is more noticeable to passersby these days.

The dead trees and invasive brush that partially blocked the view of the access and the lake from Second Street have been removed. In their place are six newly planted native trees - willows, river birch and Norway spruce - along with a few willow bushes.
